On the „our” Side again. Former Wehrmacht Soldiers as Soldiers of the Czechoslovak Army-in-Exile
Maršálek, Zdenko
Many Czechoslovak citizens forcibly serving with the Wehrmacht fell into captivity or fled directly to the Allies. Subsequently, many of them joined the Czechoslovak army-in-exile. After the war, however, the importance and specific numbers of these soldiers were purposefully marginalized. However, as the statistical processing of personal materials has shown, former Wehrmacht soldiers were one of the most important recruitment sources in units in both the East and the West.

Consealed Soldiers. A National Story and Marginalization
Maršálek, Zdenko
Based on a brief description of the processes of creating collective memory, the author presents the phenomenon of creating the image of resistance during the Second World War. The fact that many citizens of the occupied countries served in the German Wehrmacht was purposefully marginalized in this picture, even though many of them entered the exile armies after their capture.

Z nepřátelské do „naší” uniformy. Vojáci wehrmachtu ze Slánska jako dobrovolníci československé zahraniční armády
Maršálek, Zdenko
The study deals with the fate of German Wehrmacht soldiers, who volunteered from the captivity for the Czechoslovak Army-in-exile during the Second World War. The fact that at the end of the war, every third soldier of the Czechoslovak units formed alongside the Allies in Great Britain was a former German soldier, did not respond to the propaganda-shaped image of the resistance in exile, and was therefore marginalised. Colour fates of the men in this group is documented by an example of four soldiers born in the then Slaný district between 1909–1921.
